" Sebastian, clear this smile off of your face, you're creeping me out " you muttered angrily at the butler, who was smiling goofy after "petting" the tiger. He was happy like a child who just received a present on Christmas.

" I didn't tell you to go that far! " yelled Ciel to him.

" My apologies, my lord. I've lived many years, but cats are such whimsical creatures, I still can't quite read their moods " he said while sparkles flashing around him.

" Then why don't you marry one of them and leave me alone?! " you ranted to the demon who only gave you a smirk.

" My, my, (Y/N)...Simple, I may have a fetish for cats but it doesn't mean I would screw them unlike you... "

" SEBASTIAN?!!!! " you yelled so loud that you were pretty sure that half London's population became deaf by your burst. You blushed fifty shades of red and pink. " WHAT THE HELL? "

" Sebastian, this is quit inappropriate for the moment " groaned Ciel, a slight blush on his face too.

" My apologies, my lord "

" What was the point of attracting unnecessary attention- "

Suddenly, Ciel started to sneeze and you remembered the reason why the butler can't have cats at home.

" You know I'm allergic to cats! Stay far back " ordered Ciel, menacing Sebastian with his cane, which you found cute.

" Do you want a balloon, ma'am? " asked a voice behind and you turned around only to scream. Of course, it would be a clown.

" NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONON!!!! " you waved in front of you, paled.

" Are you sure? "

" I don't care about your giraffes and elephants! Please don't kill me! "

The man chuckled and gave you an amused expression.

" Why would I do that, Miss? Are you by any chance afraid of clowns? "

" Me? Pfff, of course not!...I'm just about to shit on myself right now "

" Thank you for all, my good sir but this lady won't buy any of your balloons " smiled nervously Sebastian, who tossed you behind him.

The man disappeared in the crowd and you let out a sigh of relief.

" Clowns are the true evil in this world " you pouted and the demon chuckled at your antics.

" Oh, there`ee be! You there, in the tailcoat! " yelled a voice behind and you saw the ginger hair man from before. What was his name? Oh yes! Joker.

The man waved at Sebastian and ran straight at him.

" I'm so sorry about what happened, sir and miss "

" No, please, I apologize " said Sebastian with a small smile.

" Gave me a scare, traipsing right up to the tiger like that! And you too, miss! You sure have some temper! " winked Joker and you blushed, turning your head away.

" I don't know what you're talking about... " you laughed nervously.

" We have a doctor on staff. Better let him have a look at 'ee, I reckon. Please, come on back "

There was a moment of silence before a smirk appeared on the butler's face and you know well that expression.

" I don't mind if I do " he simply replied.

________________________________________________________________________

Even if you didn't want to, you were somewhat forced to go with Sebastian in the medic tent. It isn't like you were the one who got bitten by a gigantic tiger who could easily take some weight off your shoulder literally (if you know what I mean).

You stood close to Sebastian, not trusting the artist who were glaring at the both of you. Sebastian, from his side, seems to enjoy your closeness, sometime nuzzling his nose in your neck to get a reaction out of you (which is always a slap in the face).

You shuddered when you took a look in the cages, the tigers and lions staring at you with hungry eyes. The back of the circus was really a different perception than what you saw in the show minutes ago. With every artists smoking, taking off their masks to show their true colors...

- " Right this way. Sorry it's so filthy " said Joker. You three turned a corner and you saw the snake man from before. " Ah, Snake! Is the doc in the medical tent? " The snake around his neck pointed to a direction. " Oh, maybe he's making rounds "

You continued to walk behind the two boys, glaring at Snake with a thoughtful look. The snake man glared at you through half-lidded eyes and turned his attention away. That's when you noticed the two..err...kids from the show as well.

" Say, isn't that the boy who got bitten by the tiger? " wondered the girl with a smirk. " And the feisty, foul-mouthed girl? "

" That's them. Idiots! "

" Oh, repeat that, you fucking moron! " you yelled at them, shaking a fist. Before you could take care of them, Sebastian quickly took a hold of the collar of your dress and brought you back next to him.

Joker entered a tent and you followed him.

" Good, there he is. Doc! " smiled Joker, waving at a man with curly, black hair in a wheelchair.

" Hello, Joker. Is your hand acting up again? "

" Naw, today I've got someone else- "

" It's you! You're the one who just got bitten by Betty! " cut Dagger, pointing at Sebastian with narrowed eyes.

" Betty?! " said in disbelief the doctor, sweating bullets. " That's terrible. We've got to get you to the infirmary! "

Minutes later, you found yourself at the infirmary, standing next to Joker and Dagger while Sebastian was examined by the doctor. After the checkup, the doctor released the butler with a confused expression.

" Did you really get bitten by a tiger? I don't see any wound..."

" Just an affectionate nip " smiled Sebastian, lifting his head.

" Affectionate? " said Joker with a clueless expression.

" Nip? " finished Dagger and you sneered, crossing your arms under your chest.

" Ah! You are lucky that the tiger didn't rip off your face! Well, it wouldn't change anything... "

" Well, I'm just glad you're all right " smiled the doctor.

" Too true! I was afraid the troupe leader'd kill me for letting a customer get hurt " sighed in relief Joker, putting a hand over his chest.

" You aren't the leader? Even if you didn't have the costume, I thought you were somewhat the ringmaster " you said.

" I'm more or less the hired replacement. The real one's scary! " Joker dismissed with his hand.

" Don't blame me if you get yelled at for saying that! " smiled Dagger.

" Doc, would you take a look at my leg- " said a female voice and you saw Beast entering the tent. She stopped when she saw the both of you.

" Miss! " yelled Dagger, hearts floating around him and you held a sick expression, faking a vomit sound.

" You! " she yelled angrily.

" I'm here for my leg, too! Yet more proof of the red thread of destiny between- " said Dagger on one knee in front of Beast but she ignored him and went straight to Sebastian.

" You're that dapper freak! What are you doing here?! " she said accusingly. " You wrecked my show- "

" Beast! " cut the doctor angrily. " You can't talk like that to a guest! This isn't his fault; it's yours for not being able to control Betty! "

" But HE walked up to her without- "

" No buts! You're a pro, aren't you? "

" Now, Doc, please don't shout in front of our guests " smiled nervously Joker.

" That's right, please just forget this and check Miss's leg! " cut Dagger. The doctor sighed.

" You'll be retraining Betty after this, Beast. Is that clear? "

" Yeah " she huffed.

" Right, then. Show me your prosthesis "

The tamer sighed and went to a desk. She sat down on it and the doctor made his way toward her with the help of his wheelchair. He started to pull down her sock and Sebastian decided to stand up at that moment, approaching the two with a brow raised.

" We're a bit of an irregular bunch here...We're a gathering place for people with certain problems " explained Joker. " I'm missing an arm myself, but the Doc got me this fine replacement. Good looking, isn't it? "

You took the skeletal hand of Joker and stared at it for a long time before whistling, impressed.

" You need to show me how you do that, Doc " you said while looking at the doctor who chuckled in return.

" Well, the design you picked is the reason you always need adjusting, you know Joker...Put yourself in my shoes! " the doctor said while working on the strange prosthesis that you couldn't help but stare at it with a bewildered expression.

" How do you get use to it? I mean, it most be a pain in the butt when it decides to not work anymore " you said and Beast shrugged.

" It happens sometimes...At least the doctor is here to take care of our problem " she said.

" Do you make the prostheses for this circus, sir? " asked Sebastian.

" More or less " he replied. " And it's a big job! I do everything, from carving the parts to final fitting "

" Carving them? Are they wooden, then? "

" Nope, ceramic " said the doctor and Sebastian stared at him, clearly shocked. " But I use special materials, so they're light and sturdy "

" I see " wondered Sebastian, taking a hold of Beast's feet. " They're quite smooth to the touch "

" Aren't they? And I use spherical parts in the joints, for nice fluid movement "

" This is truly fine work " said Sebastian, starting to get higher and you hold back a scowl. The woman started to blush at the butler's antics and you felt the urge to smack the both of them (mainly the damn demon). You nearly throw a tantrum when Sebastian lifted Beast's leg higher, looking under her skirt. She gasped in shock, her face red like a tomato.

" Hmm? What's this seal? "

Joker was in shock and Dagger was having a nosebleed, mouth agape. You, on the other hand, approached the butler and took a hold of his black hair, slamming his head on the table. He grunted and turned to you with an innocent smile. That jerk.

" Something wrong, darling? "

" What are you doing, you pervert?! " yelled the curly haired woman, lifting her leg before slamming it down but Sebastian avoided it at the last moment.

" Oh, I beg your pardon " he smirked. " You didn't strike me as modest enough to be embarrassed by such trifles "

Beast greeted her teeth and unleashed her whip. She strikes it many time but Sebastian would simply avoid it with ease, like it was nothing. With each strike, the tamer destroyed parts of the medic tent.

" Oi, Beast, stop that! " said the doctor. " You two, stop her- "

" HOW DARE YOU LAY A HAND ON MY LADY'S FAIR AND TENDER SKIN! I HAVEN'T EVEN TOUCHED IT YET! "cut Dagger, pulling out knives from his sleeves and thrown them at the butler. You stood next to Joker, arms crossed with a dark look on your face.

" A-ahem, miss? " asked Joker, unsure if he wanted to be bitch-slapped by your wrath like you were on your period.

" What are you waiting for? Kill that fucker " you mumbled and Sebastian shots you a fake hurt look.

" How cruel are you, my dear "

Sebastian jumped back, doing flip backs. He landed on a bar on the ceiling, giving them a smug look.

" I didn't actually touch her skin...but I do seem to have touched a nerve " he taunted and Dagger's rage only got worst.

" Dagger, stop! You'll shred the tent! " pleaded the doctor.

" Miss Beast's honor is more important than this tent! " he replied, throwing the knives.

Sebastian only blinked and caught them between his fingers, all of them. He smirked and you let a grunt. What a show-off.

" No way! " gushed Dagger and Joker whistled, impressed.

" Don't get cocky! " snarled Beast and was about to bring down her whip when Joker jumped and grabbed it with the help of his cane. The rope enrolled itself around the tip, stopping any movement. Joker turned to her and made appear a bouquet of flowers.

" Ta-da! " he smiled and she blushed brightly. " All right, that's enough! "

" What? No! "

While they were talking to each other, Sebastian jumped down and walked to you with a smile stretched so wide that you thought he was the Cheshire Cat.

" Was someone jealous? "

" Oh shut up, fuck face " you groaned, turning your back to him. He simply chuckled and Joker approached him.

" That was mighty athletic, sir! I reckon I'd hire'ee "

" Is that true? " asked Sebastian, his face a little bit too close for Joker's comfort. " Truth be told, my current master is so spoiled, I,m quite disgusted with him "

" Eh?! But Sebas- " you trailed but Sebastian cut you by placing a hand over your mouth, muffling your voice.

" `Master`? Be thee a servant, then? " asked Joker, surprised. " I took'ee for gentry, dressed up so fine with a beautiful wife with'ee..."

You started to snap at the man but since Sebastian's hand was still on your mouth, he couldn't hear the way you think.

" Me, gentry? Hardly. But you're right on the wife part " Sebastian smiled, closing his eyes. " I'm merely one hell of a butler. Now, was that true? If so, I'd very much like to join you "

" Not having me on, are'ee? "

" I never jest "

Joker's eye widened slightly and let out a laugh, approaching Sebastian. He tapped both his shoulders:

" Lord, that's funny! All right, me'ansome. Sure, join us anytime! "

" Joker! You can't just decide that! " huffed Beast.

" But he's got such talent "

" Pardon me...There's actually another person I'd like to introduce to you..."

" If he's anything like'ee, that's fine " smiled Joker. " But I reckon we'll give an entry test "

" I don't think he will appreciate that..." you scoffed under your breath, eyeing the butler dangerously since he still wore that creepy smile of his. He turned to you and gave you a wink before returning his attention on Joker.

" Plus, this woman here will participate as well "

You choke your own saliva and were about to strangle him when enrolled an arm around your waist and brought outside:

" I'll come back tomorrow with those two " smiled the butler. " Thank you for all your help today. No need to show me the exit "

The minute you both were completely in the fresh air, you grabbed his collar and brought him to your level.

" What the hell was that?! I can't be an artist in the circus! I have no spectacular talent! "

" Trust me on that, my dear. I will find you a talent " he smirked before walking away and you stared at him with wide eyes.

" Sebastian? The exit is this way " you pointed to the other direction and the butler merely shrugged.

" I'm going to investigate the children's disappearance, you return and wait in the carriage " he ordered you.

_____________________________________________________________________________

On your way to the carriage, you were cursing to yourself. How irritable the demon was! You finally were able to locate the carriage, entering it and closing the door harshly. Ciel gave you a weird look when you crossed your arms under your chest, a scowl on your features.

" What happened? " he asked finally and you turned away.

" Ask your damn butler when he gets back! " you huffed and the boy sighed.

Sebastian returned and your master tapped the ceiling of the carriage with his cane, signaling to depart.

" Report " said Ciel.

" I'm afraid I was interrupted before I'd made a full circuit of the camp. I'd like to penetrate a bit deeper into their organization, but I have a request for you in that regard... "

" What? "

" I asking you, young master, to come with me in the investigation. We three would pass ourselves as artists in the circus so we could go deeper in this mystery, young master... " smiled Sebastian and it took a moment for Ciel to process everything in his head.

" WHAT?!!!!!!!!!!"

Through all the ride to the manor, Ciel was cursing under his breath, not able to look into his butler's eyes.

" I'm asking you why that suddenly became the plan! " snarled Ciel when he entered the manor, Sebastian and you following behind. " When did I order you say that?! "

" Does it inconvenience you, my lord? " asked Sebastian while taking off his cloak and hat.

" Well, we'll argue about it later " greeted Ciel with his teeth. " I'm exhausted, I want to go straight to bed- "

He was cut when Soma appeared, a big smile on his face.

" Ciel! My bride! "

The prince jumped on you the first second his eyes caught with yours and he enrolled his arms around you. You struggled to get out from his hold but in vain.

" LET ME GO! "

" Ciel, I'm so glad you're here! I've been waiting and waiting! As for you my bride, I was worried! You let me alone by myself here! "

" Welcome home, Lord Phantomhive, Sebastian and (Y/N) " said Agni and you stared at him with pleading eyes.

" Agni! Get him off of me! "

" Right, I forgot you were here " sighed Ciel in exasperation and you made a dash upstairs when Agni was able to get the prince off.

" GOOD LUCK, MASTER! " you yelled and slammed the door of your bedroom.

_______________________________________________________________________________

The next day, in the morning, the butler opened the door of your bedroom and advanced toward the curtains, opening them with one swift movement to let the light shines inside the room. Sebastian turned to you and sweatdropped slightly. Half of your face was laying against the pillow, your mouth open with drool coming out from it. The man with red eyes sighed and approached your sleeping form. He bent down on his knees, just next to your bed and moved his face closer.

You felt a warm breath and strange smell hit your nostrils and you opened one eye to see the demon. You jolted awake from your position and nearly thrown the headboard in the butler's smirking face. Not that you could.

" SEBASTIAN?! "

" Finally up, Sleeping beauty? " he coed mockingly and you felt the urge to smack his cheek. Hard. " Time to change, we need to arrive at the circus at an early hour..."

" I don't want to " you whined like a child and the butler shook his head in exasperation before leaving the room. You growled under your breath and went to prepare yourself.

You know that feeling when you want to strangle someone to death? Yeah, you have it right now. The moment you stepped inside the circus, Sebastian already made you the first one to pass the troupe's test. And the worst, is the fact you have. No.Incredible. Talent. You stood in front of Joker, shaking nervously by the pressure you felt under the amateurs' gaze and his too.

" So? What talent do you have, missy? " asked Joker with a smile.

" None? " you replied, unsure and the ginger haired male laughed lightly.

" Impossible, you must at least have one talent? "

" Oh yes she has...flexibility " smirked Sebastian and you gaped at him like a fish out of water.

" The fuck is wrong with you?! I'm not flexible! " you snarled at the butler. " I'm rather good at gardening but that's something else, right?! "

" Well, you could show us an aerial silk act? " tried Dagger and you shot him a dark look who made him cringe back in the emo corner.

" Hell- "

" Splendid idea! " cut Sebastian and you nearly punched him. " But maybe we could start with this young boy first..."

Ciel greeted his teeth in anger while the butler gave him an innocent smile. An innocent smile that you wanted him to choke with. Of course, you would have laughed all the while Ciel was doing his tests if it wasn't for the fact you will be next. At first, Ciel had to throw daggers to a target...far away from him. With his little arms, you didn't believe he could do it. But when he hit the target right in the center, you nearly fell on your ass in astonishment. You quickly understood that Sebastian was behind this. Then, he had to do tightrope, which he nearly fell a couple of times if Sebastian didn't throw (with pleasure) rocks to him. You had three heart attacks after this. Finally, Ciel finished his tests with a big, cute but creepy smile.

" Now it's your turn, missy! " smiled Joker, waving his hand toward the suspended fabric. Sebastian was trying his best to not laugh, but you could see his shoulders shaking.

" God damnit " you whispered, walking toward the silk. You touched the red fabric with your gloved hands and frowned. You never did this before.

Taking a deep breath, you put a foot on the silk and started to climb up but you lost your foot and tripped down on it. You groaned in pain and you heard a couple of chuckles coming from the spectators.

" Are you sure you're okay, Miss? " asked Dagger, muffling his laugh with his palm. You greeted your teeth in anger and you started to climb up once more.

This time, you got yourself tangled in the fabric and now you were hanging down, feeling the blood rushing to your head. You focused your scowl on the demon, feeling the urge to show him the middle finger. Joker softly smiled at your position and crouched down at your height.

" You know, you're pretty funny for someone who...doesn't have so much talent in aerial silk...I think I will keep you! " he laughed and you groaned.

" Oh joy...NOW GET ME OUT OF THERE! " you yelled to Sebastian.

_____________________________________________________________________

" All right everyone! We have some new mates joining us! This is Black... " said Joker, pointing to Sebastian

The butler bowed and smiled.

" Pleased to meet all of you! "

" And the wee one here is Smile! "

You choked your own saliva and started to laugh loudly. The young master gave you a dark look before smiling uneasily to the crowd of artists.

" P-Pleased to meet you " he stammered.

" And finally, this is Short! "

You paled at the nickname and you were about to throw yourself on the ginger haired male. You pouted angrily and crossed your arms, looking down at your outfit: $_59

" Give'em a warm welcome, everyone! "
